There are only four weeks left to enter a swimathon to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

The fundraiser hits pools between April 26 and 28, and the money raised will help support Marie Curie Nurses who provide free nursing care to people with terminal illnesses.

Participants can choose from the 5k, 2.5k or 1.5k individual challenges or take part as team in the 5k or 1.5k distance challenges.

Community Fundraiser Zoe Morris said: “Last year 770 swimmers took part across Surrey and together raised a brilliant £60,918.08 for Marie Curie Cancer Care.

"We hope to raise even more in 2013, and want to let people know it’s not too late to sign up and take part.

"It’s a great way to get fit and every length you swim will help raise vital funds, so that Marie Curie can provide support to terminally ill people and their families.”

Entries are open until April 24, for more information visit swimathon.org.
